The thanksgiving meal without cruelty/death sounds SO good! I too feel SO
blessed when sharing an all strictly veggie meal with others – it does bring
peace and love in my opinion. How we long for that home that the Lord has
prepared for us where EVERY meal would be death-free!

It is indeed true – when there is dispute between people it does take peace
away for a while! However, it is not worth simply ‘giving in’ just for the sake
of peace when asked to do what is against the Lord’s wishes! Under these
circumstances my peace comes from the Lord in spite of the discord imposed on me
by others.
